About The Party

The best venue, tons of bars & bartenders (no long lines for drinks!), complimentary soft drinks & bottled water, and a "to go" table with philly soft pretzels, the hottest crowd, live DJ concert with Philly's best DJs on stage, professional photographers and videographer, giant ball drop screens, dancing, martinis, champagne, people watching, multiple rooms, separate VIP area, great food buffets, and premium / top-shelf (VIPs) name-brand drinks.

Spend this New Year’s Eve in the heart of Philadelphia at the most jaw-dropping site the city has to offer, The Crystal Tea Room. This NYE celebration is nothing short of legendary, selling out each year since its inauguration in 2006. The stunning ballroom in the penthouse of the historic Wannamaker Building celebrates the most important night of the year with an impressive level of grandeur.
